Dead Stars Shine Bright ✨

[Intro]
You said I was born for the light…
But it’s the dark that raised me.

[Verse 1]
You wear your hate like perfume,
And I breathe it in to feel alive.
Every cut you left,
Still hums beneath my skin tonight.

You said I’d find peace in forgiveness —
But I only found you in pain.
Now I crave the chaos you gave,
More than I ever craved my name.

[Pre-Chorus]
I should’ve run,
But I stayed still.
I mistook your poison —
For will.

[Chorus]
You’re the devil that I need,
My comfort in the bleed.
Every wound you gave,
Still lets me breathe.
You’re the flame that feeds,
The reason I can’t leave.
You’re not what I want —
You’re the devil I need.

[Verse 2]
You talk like mercy, taste like sin,
I always lose, but I call it a win.
If heaven’s calm, I’ll take your storm,
At least your chaos keeps me warm.

You said I was broken — maybe that’s true,
But the cracks all point back to you.
You are the mirror I can’t erase,
The scar I trace to know my place.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If love’s redemption —
Then I’ll stay cursed.

[Chorus 2]
You’re the devil that I need,
Not holy — but real.
Every lie you told,
Still taught me how to feel.
You’re the fire in my grief,
The sin beneath belief.
You’re not what I want —
You’re the devil I need.

[Bridge]
I gave you everything just to stay awake!
Every piece of me — another mistake!
You’re the ghost in my veins,
The heat in my shame —
And I love you all the same!
If love’s a curse —
Then curse me again!
If hell is you —
Then I’ll descend!

[Final Chorus]
You’re the devil that I need,
My home beneath the flame.
You’re the ache that never leaves,
But I’d die to feel the same.
You’re the ruin I believe,
The sin that lets me breathe.
You’re not what I want —
But you’re the devil I need.

[Outro]
Maybe salvation was never the goal…
Maybe I was just meant to burn —
And glow.
